I agree 100 percent with that. It is also true that far too much responsibility and blame for child rearing and a child's behavior is placed on the mother rather than the father, and that even extends to legal cases where mothers have been prosecuted for a child's drunk driving. In some cases that's because the father isn't around much, but in others it is simply a result of sexism.
